'the Earl of MOIRA :rejoiced . that the political merits of the Expedition' were not to be involved in the, pretent question.' itespeding the charaoer of that Expedition, he had already recorded his opinion on the joornals of the House, and he would now forbear touching upon that subject. The House mast feel how indispensably necessary it was, to the maintenance of, that discipline,. that militaty men sliould never inquire into the policy.or justice of any service they were ordered to. execute.. if then they must abst;tin from every consideration of. itat sort, the only thing to be required of- them was, the full and complete execution of the order s they had re-. ceived. Even the t le g r ee of danger and difficulty, with which a service might be attended, did not de pend on them; it was not, therefore, their fault; if these circumstances of brighter glory did not chance to adopt the performanceof the task unposed. upon them. On these grounds,. be felt it his duty to concur in the Vote of Thanks, as justice due to • the Officers employed on the service : nor was it every day we could have to reward such exploits as those of Trafalgar, of Alexandria, of Maida, which 1;oont a 'stamp that must render them current every • where. Officers may do their duty to the fullest extent that can be expeaed, as the Officers in whose favour the present Motion is made undoubtedly have done, tholgh they themselves , may have to regret that the service was not more arduous and perilous, and attended with the circumstances. that might have rendered it More glorious. In most of What had fallen from his Noble Friend (Lord Holland) he entirely concurred ; but he could not oppose the Vote of Thanks to which be, thought . the Noble , Officer entitled. Lord 4ucKcaNp pursued the same line of argu ment as the Noble For! who preceded hint. Lard ilif/LGR4P'S very ably combated the argOo ments adduced by Lord Rolland against the Motion.' That respecting ronl9ll he - contended was not in 'point. Lord Hood was blockading the Port of Too lon at the time alluded tu r and without any etlurt on his pail, the place and the .fleet were delivered into his hands by one of the contending factions which then existed in that City. Of Lord Gambier's iikill,•energy," and judgment, throughout the whole course of the business in the Baltic, be was at a loss. to speak in ...adecin.tte terms of praise. Indeed his exertions were most conspicuously manifested in the jiliticioui wanner by which lie had so stationed hiS tOrce,. and so encompassed the IslAnd‘'of Zealand, , that it was impossible for Ow Danes to. send °yd!. any, reinforcements to Copenhagen, and thus he materially contribuled to the attaintnent of the ob 7. jtel, while he prevented the necessity of the etfu3ion . of blood on either side. • • Lord GREY subscribed to every sentiment and argument which had been so ahlY urged by his Noble Friend (Lord Holland). lie too Must, like, Kt), oppose the, Motion, which he did solely on public grounds, and in vindication of the dignity of that [loose, and'by 140 means with th e i ntent i on 4t . deteadi u ftinn the merits of, thO Ot beers to Within it - 0/38 proposed to vote the Thanks of the tioust!. 1 / Ord Mu L.G Vshortly replied ; after MIMI, Lotd HA j IIA ILS II URI' inuved the Thanks of rho Houic, in sep,ir.ne Alotioni, to Lord Viscount cdtticarr, and the ()Ulcers anti Men under his Command ; concluding with moving, that the Lord Chancellor do communicate the Vole of theHousq to the Noble Viscount, when h next appeared it his place._ Lord 1 - IAwKII',BUTIY next mac.. sitnikr Motions in.faveur of I.oid G4Mbier, and . the Officers and Men employed under him. . Some conversation arose respecting, tbe wording of the Motion, when the Negotiations. before ,Co pcinh,tgen S A , ere introtince4. The Mkt of 'AMA, Lord. Grey, and turd Lauderdale, contended, , that voting thanks for this part of the tranuaion .was prejudicing the quehtiott, that was to come under discussion on a future, day. Lords HAWKESIBURY and. MuLoaAva contended, that the Negotiations here referred' to, were those entered into by the Officers on the spot, and had no connexion whatever with the political nature of the Expedition. . Some conversation also arose respecting the Cap tain the Fleet, Sir IL Popham. It was contend ed by the same Noble Lords, that it was it& usual to introduce the name of the Captain of the Fleet in Votes of Thanks, unless he had the rank of Ad- .tniraL An ingtance o a'situilar case, h the person of Sir R.

He assured the Hon. Gentleman, that the object be had at heart had not escaped his attention. MARGATE PIER. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL presented a Petition from the Commissioners of the Pier and Inhabitiints of the town of Margate, praying aid to repair the Josses sustained by them by the effecast of the late high tides. ( AMERICAN INTERCOURS4, Mr. Rosi moved the Order of the Day, for going into a Conimittee:otothe Ad of last Sessien, regu lating the trade between this Country and the United States of . America. Mr. .EDEN retarded this Motion with pleasure, so far as it went to prove a dispoiition to conciliate and maintain good will and amity with the American States ; and it gave him still farthe r sat i s f act iO n , in asmucli as it seemed to indicate a hope on the part of his Majesty's Ministers, that the existing ditfer ences would be reconciled and done away. He was, however, surprised, under the circumstances now existing in Atnerioa, to find the provisions of the A 4 of 1799, made to carry into etfett the Treaty of Corn merce and Amity with the United States, now pro. poesi fo r renewal, without any reserve or modifica tion, if the Bight Hon. Gentleman would look to the preamble of the Att, he would find that it was framed on the principle of a reciprocal freedom of coturrierce bet Ween the two countries. But now, when the Non-importation Ad - was renewed by the American Legislature in all its avidness, .and when an embargo was laid in the American ports, was it a tittle for Britain to renew without reserve all the in dulgences of the periods of the moat amicable rela-% tiou ? The Act now in existence niative weeks 'of' its period still to run.; was it not proper to paus e Icascfor ,a part, of ,that time, in order to as certa i n whether th e arrival ot our Envoy Extraordinary America, and t arrival of the intelligence that must hate nearly, at : the same time !fern received, of the I unj ust' . proceedings of France may not, on more tam ure consideratiOn, have taught the American'OuVern. norm to adopt a more wimc and triad Late system of . conclutt f • When, on reviewing the enemy's Decrees and the Orders ot„ Council issu, d by the British Go vernment, it should be ,goon!! that. America could treat only.with kJrittiin , existing circuni,atruces may . undergo a lOU' alteration, which would render the passitn, this Ink,!astlre more proper and natural. if the embargo should be taken oil, and tile NonEhn. p.ortation Ad repe4d, his objections would no long. et - exist. But it the American Government sh ou ld be so unreasonable as to overlook the olurages of France, and to require front its COncessionirbeyond all reason, a very different course would become us, Another reason why he was averse to the renewal °t i the Ad was the refUsal of the Arneriisan Govern ment to,ratify the Treaty concluded last year. Many of the provisions of the Ad were incorporated in that Treaty, and when the American Government refused to accept them in the shape of a national covenant, why shoul , l we grant them, witk;ut any reciprocal-consideration, in the shape of an Aft of. Parliament ? • 111 r. ROSE :said; the oblelit of the measure he pro posed to renew, was to continue the provision s of the Act; of 1794, in consequence of die.lailure or omission of making an arrangement under the lath article of the Treaty of 1797, in the time stipulated, in consequence of that omission it became uccessasy to pass the Intereeurse Ad of last &Won, 'to pie.. vent the tr a de wiai the United States hum riffling to the ground. That At would expire in about thug weeks hence. it would viika , three weeks to pass a fill to renew it, and tlwrefore no time was to be lost: If America had precipitately taken measures hostile • to this Country, it became us to slim an example of thirdignity and moderation, the wise and delibe-' rate course of proceeding that became a great and upright paw. Anteritta .profit by so matrUCtive au example, and it site should oot i , he would still find a satisfattion in tbinkilig this Country had erred rather On the side orforhearanee and deliberation than anger. and precipitancy. .His Hon. Friend („,,hlr, Eden) should'Oe aware, that under the provisions of the Navigation Act Yhi American Vessel could enter the ports of this Catintry tattlesy special provision were made by Act of. ParliaMent to that OW. To make that provision was one of the obieas of the measure.now proposed. There was no reason why American ships shOuld be exclud ed from bringing the produce ut their country to our ports, any more than the ships of any other nation. As to gibing a power to the King and Council, why should that he done by the King and Council which Could be done. by tlie Legislature, particularly at a time when the Parliament was sittitig ? He propos ed to limit the duration of the Bill to be introduced to the period at the present Sessiun of Parliament, with a power to repeal or alter it'at any time it' may be thoug. necessary. Souse regulation Was indis• peusably necessary, and this measure was the most reasonable irs could think of. The House then went into the Committee, Sir C. Price'in the Chair. Leave was given to bring in a renew the AU passed ,to earl)' into qrect the - "Tic:oy of Conametce and Amity betwhe t i hi s m a . lesty and this United States ofAmerica. • ..Mr. EptiN tuck occiviloti to , 511,y, in expianation, that he had no wish to giveimy interrupticin to tho intercontial with the United States.
